They call her the lady of the nightShe's a woman of the worldAnd easy-living girl with love for sale

That's what they call her the lady of the nightNo one seems to know her nameAnd even less about the placeFrom where she came

Every evening when the night is close at handYou'll find the lady on the rue d'avignonIn a half lit hotel doorway the lady advertises warmlyIt's just a job but she'll do the best she can

Don't try to change this lady of the nightShe's a lot like you and meAnd less than what she seems to be

(she is the lady of the night)And easy-living girl(she is the lady of the night)She's a woman of the world(she is the lady of the night)With lots of loving for sale(she is the lady of the night)Lady lady of the night

Round here they call her the lady of the nightIn a perfume hotel roomShadows dance upon the wall and fate at dawnShe's no beginner this lady of the nightNever try that funny stuff'cause lady can be toughBe warned!

(she is the lady of the night)She's a lot like you and me(she is the lady of the night)And never just what she seems(she is the lady of the night)No one seems to know her name(she is the lady of the night)Or the place from where she came
